Hello Rebecca: When setting up any new account information, do the following: 1. From the Main Menu, press E, S, D, A. You will see "entry list of Directory of Email Accounts". Press Enter. 2. "Account Name" is the first field. Put anything here that will help you identify it and press Enter. 3. "User Name" is the next field. Some ISP's just require the first part of your e-mail address, up to the "at" part. Press Enter. 4. "Password" is the next field. If your password includes numbers, put them in lower case. Press Enter. 5. "Your name" is the next field, so put that in. Press Enter. 6. "Your e-mail address" is the next field, and the whole e-mail address is needed. If there are numbers, lower case numbers are required. Press Enter. 7. "Pop server" is next; add this entry and press Enter. 8. "Smtp server"; put this in and press Enter. 9. "Smtp authentication required"? This is set to "no" but most ISP's require them. Press Y for yes and press Enter. 10. Press dot 2-6 chord to add the record. Connectivity Side Using an Ethernet Cable 1. From the Main Menu, press Option, C, C. 2. "Entry list for connection configurations" is the first field seen. Press Enter. 3. "Connection configuration name" is next, so write in whatever you'll remember. Press Enter. 4. "Device to use" is next. You'll want the ethernet connection, so press dots 3-4 chord until you see "ethernet network connection". You can press Enter here. 5. "Obtain an IP address automatically"? This is generally "yes". Press ENTER. 6. Generally, you can press dot 2-6 Chord to add the record, unless you are required to use a "proxy server", or a "DNS address." Wireless If you are using a wireless connection, do the following: 1. Put your wireless card in. 2. From Main Menu, press Options, C, W. 3. You will see "wireless card active; currently no." 4. Press Y for yes. 5. Space down to "scan for a network"? 6. Press Enter. 7. You will see "list of available connections." 8. Once you see this, press the Space bar to see a connection. 9. You will be placed into the "configuration items list." The only thing you'll have to enter is your configuration name. 10. Press Enter. The SSID and all other settings should go into their default values. 11. If you do not use WEP or other security, you should just be able to save the configuration "as is", since the BN should pick up these settings from the router. 12. Press dots 2-6 Chord to add the record. There are always a couple of things to look for, if you're not making a connection: If your network is not a secure network, you should be able to connect to any web site. If it is a secure network, you will need to type in the WEP code which is in your router I believe. Another dead giveaway is the DNS address. Go into the connectivity menu and look for active connection details once you have made your connection. Look for the first DNS address. There is also a secondary DNS address but you aren't concerned with that one. If the DNS address ends in a higher number with the last two numbers, you don't have a proper connection. Usually the address ends in 01, 05, or possibly 10 but it won't end in a number higher than the possible connections your router can handle. If you only have one or two devices connected to your network and you are getting a higher number, you don't have a good connection. Just an indicator to watch for. The next thing is to determine how your network i! s secured. Network Places If you desire to set up with your computer, do the following: When asked for a server, type in your computer's name. Press enter. Leave user name and password blank. Say no when asked if you want to update default log on information. Press space with E. You will then be asked for a network place, accept the default. After that, you should be placed in your computers hard drive.
